classic thanksgiving dish, this replaces the heavy in fat cream of mushroom soup version. Ok, this is my recipe. I made it for Thanksgiving 2002 and I was also extremely disappointed. I originally got it from Cooking Light, and made it a few years ago. I loved it back then, but this year it just didn't work. Not sure what is wrong...
Ingredients:
1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup skim milk
1/2 cup lowfat swiss cheese, shredded
1/2 cup low-fat sour cream
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 (8 ounce) packages frozen french style green beans, thawed drained
1 1/2 cups herb seasoned stuffing mix
2 teaspoons margarine, melted
1 egg white, lightly beaten
Directions:
1. coat medium saucepan with cooking spray and place over medium heat until hot.
2. add onion, saute 5 min.
3. add flour, and cook 1 min, stirring constantly.
4. gradually add the milk, stirring until blended.
5. stir in the cheese, sour cream, sugar and salt, cook 5 min until thick and bubbly.
6. place green beans in an 8 in square baking dish, pour sauce over.
7. combine stuffing mix, margarine and egg white; and sprinkle over green beans.
